Fathers

By Trula • June 20th, 2010

I have been very blessed to have a great father and my kids have also been blessed to have a great father also. Here is my husband Brian and my dad on Father’s Day! we had a mini-family reunion also. It was so much fun! More Pics

My husband and the boys hanging out on Father’s Day. It was a real nice day, they made him a big breakfast and later, after presents helped to make a great dinner for him. ^_^

My husband Brian is a wonderful father, we really appreciate him so. After the boy bops made him breakfast and he opened his Father’s Day’ presents, we spent the day at his cousin’s farm; Jeff and his wife Shelly and their two older boys who are 11 and 8. They also have a baby boy [...]

Happy Father’s Day to my dad, father-in-law, and Mercury Man. What a great day! I actually got to see my dad as yesterday was I-bop’s graduation party. He and my mother came for that and stayed over. They left early this morning. It was great to see them! We had a nice relaxing day today. [...]

We spent last Sunday, the first Sunday of Spring hanging out in the back yard, roasting veggie dogs (Mercury Man had meat-dogs!!) till it got dark: Here I am, chilling. It was a beautiful day, really crisp still but the sun was warm and bright. I still needed a jacket! i-bop ran in and out [...]

Has anyone read this book, The Prodigal Father: Reuniting Fathers & Their Children? It is excellent. The author did not visit or financially provide for his own son for most of his childhood but was able to re-connect with his son in his late teens. I picked it up because my older son’s father is [...]

You may recall, my dad has prostrate cancer. He was diagnosed earlier this year and it is advanced and being aggressively treated. My mother and sister found him unconscious earlier this morning. He was rushed to the hospital and so far they haven’t been able to tell my mother much. I am very distraught. I [...]

I don’t know if it would be right to mention by name people I know who are going through breakups and custody battles so I won’t. Some have publicly posted about their struggles on their own blogs and others, some I know about solely through email. It makes me think of my own struggles with [...]

I am not going to the AMC after all, I’m going to run down to Cincinnati to see my dad. As regular readers know he has prostrate cancer which was being treated pretty aggressively with chemo and radiation. My mom just called me to say they want to do surgery now, tonight. The cancer was [...]

My father has prostate cancer. I found out last week. I am devastated. My father is a wonderful parent, friend, and mentor. I feel very scared and alone, almost as if I were a child dealing with such news. but I guess one is always a child to one’s parents, and always feels a primary [...]

We had an ok Easter! We are not a christian family nor pagan but Brian and I appreciate the fertility/spring/renewal aspects of the easter holiday. and the kids love the candy; they got baskets from us and also had a easter egg hunt at my MIL’s. There were unfortunately 2 deaths in my family this [...]

My father fell recently and is not doing so well. Please send your vibes, well wishs, and prayers. I love my father very much, he is an awesome dad and a smart, fun, interesting person. This pic is of us last summer at my house.

Happy Father’s Day to my Father, who was and is the best dad I could have wished for. I love you, daddy! Happy Father’s Day to my Husband, who is a devoted, loyal, loving, and encouraging father. I love you, sweetie!

My dad came to town today. I knew he was coming in and needed to be picked up at the Greyhound station this morning, around 8am. He called at 7:20, luckily Iyende was up. For once I was asleep but managed to wake up enough to talk to him. He said he knew I was [...]

Watching fathers at the park up the street from my house is funny as hell. They are always so self-conscious and awkward with their children. I find this really surprising because on average, they are or were married to the mothers and have been involved with these children all of their lives. When I lived [...]
